How do you get couples who have spent the last 20 years living in south metro Denver to take a serious look at a community in Broomfield bordering Boulder County? You offer them a big, new ranch plan with views, maybe a walkout, at prices they can’t possibly find down in Littleton or Douglas County — from around $300,000.
Tim and Barbara Husby are doing more than looking. After a visit to Anthem Ranch, Highway 7 at Lowell, the Highlands Ranch couple put their house on the market, and their names on a list for a new release of sites backing to Boulder County Open Space. (Their Highlands Ranch house sold rapidly…and now they’re renting in Anthem Ranch, meeting the neighbors, while getting ready to build).
You can come out today for an advance look at that next site release on Quandary Loop (Anthem Ranch streets are named for Colorado 14,000-foot peaks), where many homes will have stunning views of Long’s Peak and the Indian Peaks. Next Saturday at 10 a.m., Anthem Ranch formally cuts the ribbon for those sites…then hosts an Oktoberfest party with Rhineland food and a beer garden (you’re invited, 2-5 p.m.).
“People have been watching for this release of sites for months,” says Anthem Ranch sales manager Melanie McKenna. Last week, Anthem Ranch residents Terry and Wayne Munson took her up in their Cessna from Erie Air Park for a look down at Quandary Loop and the open space. Later on, McKenna took some Anthem Ranch residents down to Park Meadows Mall, where they answered questions from more south metro buyers interested in the community. “People who live south of I-70 have a hard to imagining how ideal this is,” McKenna adds. “We’re ten minutes to Boulder, five to shopping and 20 minutes to DIA.”
McKenna and her team can give you a preview today…along with a look inside Aspen Lodge community center with its indoor/outdoor pools, fitness center, and club rooms that have spawned just short of a hundred clubs ranging from golf groups to lunch-bunches, poker and hiker/biker groups. You’ll also see the 48 miles of walking and biking trails that Anthem Ranch residents enjoy (the monthly HOA fee for all of the amenities is currently an unbelievably low $156).
And you can get on the interest list for those sites, and review three series of Del Webb designed ranch-style homes from the high $200s to $600s, before they’re formally offered for sale in mid-October. Take I-25 north just past 470 to Highway 7, then west three miles to Lowell. Turn south to the first right on Anthem Ranch Road, two blocks to the models.
